THERE was q shower of stones near
Dolores. in the volcanic region of the
Argentine Republic, a few weeks ago,
that lasted for more than a minute.
The stones fell as thick as hail, and
varied in size from pebble to very
respectable bowlder. Great damage
was done to trees, while barns and out
houses were demolished, many domes-
tic animals killed, and large numbers
of wild geese and hawks on the wing.
